HEROIC FANTASY CREATURES FULL PACK VOLUME 2

So amazing

 

you guys can now check out the GIANT CRAB in real time!!
WEB PLAYER LINK HERE
creature should be ready and live tomorrow

 

Fantastic .... any idea what you'll work on next?

 

@Rajmahal: not sure exactly, there is a contract work that need to be done quickly as well... Was thinking about the Lacodon. Can be a pretty fun creature.... will let you guys know when Giant Crab would be released.

 

I am ready to ice it, just finished with partial mesh emission with texture mask and bought an ice pack to apply to the crab with it. I managed to get the spikes follow the surface normals too, so i cant wait to see the effect

Will use this variant for my snow areas

Of course i will make crabs for more areas adding different particles on top each time

For the caves i will probably keep the original model

 

@nasos_333: glad you appreciate the content of the pack. It's a reward to have satisfied customers like you!!

@ all of you guys who purchased the pack on the ASSET STORE, the GIANT CRAB Add-On is now live. You guys can now get your new creature as you please.

@ all of you guys who purchased from PROTOFACTOR STORE, a download link has been sent so you can get your Add-On

Enjoy!!

 

I have worked with the crab and the result is so amazing that i have to give praise once more, really stunning work

The dragon is also fantastic, the flying animation is so spectacular

BTW, do some older models use uv set for uvs ?

I tried to grab the .uv1 from the Ogre and failed, while .uv works ok

 

Protofactor, big fan here I have a quick question.

Will the Unicorn have wings ?

Thnx

 

hi there! thanks for your kind words. Well a unicorn usually don't have wings. Are you looking for something more like pegazus? the hippogriff will be something that would look a little bit like that ( see description ).

 

Well, that could work indeed.
I could delete some polygons off the hippogriff so as to just have its wings and place it over the Unicorn

I just need a flying type animation anyhow, so I'll try and do that and then use a still of the unicorn in jump motion, to show it flying.
Or something along those lines

I'm definitely gonna be getting this pack, since I mist the first one.

Could I make a request perchance ?

Since I read you were working on the Lacodon,
could you make the Hippogriff and Unicorn after that one?
Since those do have similar attributes anyhow ^_^

Thank you very much for the excellent assets.

Little update regarding Lacodon: creature is now modeled, textured, rigged and skinned. it'll go in animation step soon. Sorry about the delay but some freelance job needed to be done. here is a render of the creature ( with its head's scales closed)

Hope you guys will like it!
cheers

 

Looks great, does it open like a flower in the mouth ?

 

Fantastic .... looks really nice. I love the strange fore arms with the hole in the upper arm. Looks positively demonic. If you're adding anything to it at all, I'd suggest some sort of spines along its back as the back is a bit bland at the moment.

 

yes, its head's scales will spread open to show it's face. Funny, I was considering adding some kinda spikes along the back too.

 

This will be great for caves

 

You sir, are a legend !
This is fantastic

 

Always happy to make a happy customer. Cheers.

 

little update regarding the Lacodon. It'll be ready tomorrow. The model has been retouched slightly to add some spikes on its back. Animation step is almost finished.
Here is a render with its scales spread open:

 

Whoaa, that looks absolutely awesome, it actually has a face under all that
I thought it was just going to be like an open mouth or something.This exceeds every expectation I had

And thank you very much once more for the discounts,
I decided to get both Heroic Fantasy Creature Full Packs on your site rather than the Asset store

 

Glad you like it. Happy to, have you ad a customer.

Lacodon's Web player is now live. You can check it out here

Should be live on PROTOFACTOR STORE and the Asset Store today.
Cheers

 

So much detail in the face, you keep surprising me with every new creature

 

@nasos_333: Glad you like this creature. 24 more to come!! hope each of them would please you as much as this one.

The Volume 2 is currently being updated on the Asset Store.
Lacodon download links will be sent soon to those who purchased the volume 2 on PROTOFACTOR STORE.
This creature will also be at 50% OFF on PROTOFACTOR STORE till June 30th ( PROTOFACTOR SUMMER SALE).

 

To be honest, i like all these creatures equally, each fits a part in my game perfectly and i have finished puting particles on them, the result is beyond stunning and i can make all kind of varieties

You help make a game that feels coming out of a huge studio , so i cant thank you enough

Keep up the amazing work

 

@nasos_333: thanks for the kind words!

Download links have been sent to those who purchased the volume 2 on PROTOFACTOR STORE

Enjoy!

 

A little update has been sent to the Asset Store, little fixes on the Lacodon animations ( walk and death), V1.041. Make sure you have the latest version.
Download links have been sent to those who purchased from PROTOFACTOR STORE.

 

Update!!
Next Add-On will be a nice and powerful Minotaur. It's already in the pipe (model, unwrapped, rigged and skinned), just need the texturing and animation.
Here is a quick render. Hope you guys will enjoy that creation.

 

will you do animation without the hammer?

 

Yep, definitely some few unarmed animations

 

Brilliant ... looks fantastic. Will the hammer be a separate mesh so we could replace it with some other weapons?

 

Hammer, clothe and shoulder pad will be separate game objects. You'll be able to show hide whatever you like or replace the weapon with another as long as you parent it to the right bone.

 

Little update before the week end. Minotaur texturing is pretty much done now. This creatures will be ready early next week!

 

Very nice

 

Spectacular ... I'm amazed at your speed. You've got a lifetime customer.

 

Thanks guys. Trying to complete this pack ad fast as possible. Still need to create all the animations for this character though.

 

Loving it !

 

The models are looking awsome. I am so happy that I bought the package. Keep them comming

 

@red2blue: thanks for the kind words.
Minotaur is pretty much ready to be live.
Check him out in a web player!!

 

Download links sent to those who purchased the creatures volume 2 from PROTOFACTOR STORE. Enjoy!

 

Minotaur Add-On is now live on Asset Store. Those who purchased from the Unity Asset Store, make sure to check if you have V1.05. this last one includes the Minotaur.
Cheers

 

Next Add-On will be a nice Gargoyle. this model will have static variations for posing the creatures on pedestal etc... a stone / statue texture, a variation with illuminated cracks and the texture for the alive / awaken version.
Cheers

 

Is it possible to have at least one lod? Some models are very high poly for monsters

 

Not sure if this will happen. Models are destined for PC / MAC / console not for mobile. Tris count is pretty average / low for actual generation computers. Do you create content for mobiles?.

 

Yes, some of your models are less than 5k it work well, but over 10 k its pretty high and not easy to integrate on mobile project

 

Yeessss, thats great. Remembers me of the old Cartoon Series "Gargoyles: Wings of Darkness" . Looking forward to the new model!

 

Would be an interesting idea to have a lower and maybe a higher model along with the main one that balances polys for good performance on mid range.

For example i could do with a few more polygons in the minotaur legs

 

Ok so the problem is that It's absolutely not only a matter of polycount but a combination of texture count and resolution, and the most important number of bones in the rig... doing a LOD with just less tris for a mobile character wouldn't be enough. The number of bones would also need to be optimized... here it would mean to totally rethink some characters in order to have them 100% mobile ready... the first creatures pack never targeted mobile devices and so does the second volume. Will see what's possible...

 

It'd be worth looking into mobile friendly assets I think Lots of developers use Unity for Mobile games.
But either way I'm a happy customer, plus Moore's Law will sort it out eventually

 

Focus on what you're doing now ... I would hate to sacrifice the quality of the work to accommodate mobile releases. I always use Cruncher to reduce triangles and texture sizes anyway.

 

1000% agree with that
